    I didn't have the pasta in the recipe so I used Orzo instead. It gave it great, almost buttery taste that really complimented the other ingredients.

    I added a shallot to the dressing, along with salt and pepper. Salt and peppered to taste after combining. This could not be any easier. I also used homemade mustard that really added flavor.

    Thanks Robin for a quick and easy salad.

    Cannot really put my finger on it, but this recipe just is missing something. I made it exactly as written and I would never have served it as it came out - very very bland. I messed around with it for a little while, eventually adding some more mustard and some sugar and a little more balsamic and I eventually got it to where I was not embarrassed to serve it - but even then, it did not quite satisfy. Will not make again.

    This is really good. I made some changes just based on what I had. Added fresh from the market tomatoes, red peppers, red onion, and basil. Didn't have white balsamic but read the bottle in the store and found out it had white wine vinegar in it so I did 1/8 cup white wine vinegar, and 1/8 cup of balsamic vinegar. Also didn't roast the pepper - just cuz I forgot. Next time I'll roast the pepper first.

    I've used this recipe several times, but changed a few things around. I agree that it is a little dry, so I multplied the vinagrette part by 1.5. This probably doesn't matter so much, but I used regular balsamic vinegar instead of white. You can't go wrong with adding extra peppers or mozzarella either. I put red pepper flakes in mine to give it a kick. All in all, a very easy and very delicious recipe.

    Very tasty pasta dish especially considering it takes 15 minutes to prepare.

    This turned out great and all enjoyed it. I did add more basil, roasted red peppers and mozzarella. This would be really nice if you have the time to roast your own peppers.

    Simple to make, but pasta soaks up dressing within an hour after combining. I would double the dressing ratio, and try feta cheese in place of the mozzarella balls.
